PART 2Tax reliefs, etc
Transfer of registered pension scheme assets, etc, to the Secretary of State
2. A transfer of the property, rights and liabilities of a registered pension scheme() to the Secretary of State is to be treated as if it were a payment authorised by section 164(1) of the FA 2004() (authorised member payments).
Payments to the Secretary of State
3.—(1) This regulation applies where as a result of the transfer of the property, rights and liabilities of a registered pension scheme to the Secretary of State an employer is required to pay a sum to the Secretary of State.
(2) Where section 199 of the FA 2004() (deemed contributions) would have applied if the payment had been made to the trustees or managers of the scheme, that section applies in relation to the payment in the same way as it applies in relation to a sum paid to the trustees or managers of a registered pension scheme.
(3) Where the payment does not fall within paragraph (2), section 200 of the FA 2004() (no other relief for employers in connection with contributions) applies in relation to it in the same way that section applies in relation to a sum other than a contribution paid in connection with the cost of providing benefits under a registered pension scheme.
Lump sum payments by the Financial Assistance Scheme
4. Subsections (1) and (2) of section 636A of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003() (exemption for certain lump sums under registered pension schemes) apply to a lump sum payment under regulation 17D and a payment made under regulation 18A in the form of a lump sum as they apply to the lump sums listed in subsection (1).
